Chapter 202 Ren·My Father is Afraid of Fire·Master
"The Magic City is great, but it has its limitations after all." Yan Xu said this while carrying his luggage. Although Zhi Niang and Xiao Zuanfeng, who were hiding on him, didn't understand, they just nodded.

Yan Xu did not bring anyone else with him on this trip. He only brought Xiao Zuanfeng along with Zhiniang.

There is no need to talk about Zhiniang, she is a personal maid and a living radar.

As for Xiao Zuanfeng, don't underestimate it. Although its strength is not that great, it is smart and sensible, and is proficient in the ways of the lower nine classes. It also has the support of several immortals, and they give it some face wherever it goes. It is just the right person to lead the way for Yan Xu, who is unfamiliar with the place.

The most important thing is that these two are more reliable than humans, and there is no need to worry about their safety. If they really encounter danger, they will definitely hide faster than him.

Because the journey was long, Yan Xu specially rented a carriage. While he was sitting in the carriage waiting to leave the city, he unexpectedly saw someone who looked familiar.

The man was in his fifties, dressed like a wealthy man in movies or TV dramas, with a pipe in his hand, and looked to be of some means.

But Yan Xu was a little confused. How could he know someone here? Why did he think the other person looked familiar? So he couldn't help but look at her a few more times. When a young woman with a curvy figure wearing a pink dress and a narrow-brimmed round hat appeared and helped her get into the carriage, he remembered who she was.

"Master Ren?! Ren Yingying, no, Ren Tingting?!" Although many years have passed, the impression left back then was too deep. He couldn't remember it before, but after seeing the familiar figures, the long-lost memories revived, and Yan Xu also remembered who the other person was.

The richest man in Renjia Town, Ren·Jiafu·Fear of Fire·Master, and his daughter, Ren·Tingting, the internet celebrity of all worlds.

In fact, these two are not important. Even though most time travelers will go to the latter when they see them, just like checking in at a popular tourist attraction, Yan Xu has no interest in it because he has no shortage of women.

Compared to women like Ren Tingting who believe they have received advanced Western education, Yan Xu prefers the women who are cared for by the Japanese.

What really concerns Yan Xu is that if these two people are really the case, then Uncle Nine might also exist in this world.

Judging from the mystery and background of the world in the late Qing Dynasty, the probability is very high, which makes Yan Xu unable to resist the urge to go and see his idol.

As for becoming a disciple, Yan Xu had the idea but knew it was impossible.

This is not a question of paying money, nor can you become my disciple by pretending to be pitiful.

Do you really think that because Uncle Jiu has two unlucky apprentices, the threshold for accepting apprentices is low? In fact, it is not that simple.

Uncle Jiu, who comes from an authentic Maoshan family, is actually very strict in accepting disciples. No matter whether it is Qiu Sheng or Wencai, no matter how talented they are, they all grew up by his side since childhood. When it comes to affection and trust, they cannot be compared to those who suddenly appear.

This is also in line with the habits and traditions of this era. Those who inherit the mantle are all through apprentices, that is, those who are raised from childhood and know the ins and outs of the person.

Even if you accept someone who comes to you for no apparent reason, he won't even be able to get in the door without three to five years of testing, let alone the true teachings.

If Yan Xu didn't have extraordinary strength and the other party had no intention of continuing to follow the path of the underworld, it would have been impossible for him to become Yang Zhenze's disciple so easily.

Therefore, for Yan Xu, who is at such an age and has such strength, it is impossible for him to become Uncle Jiu's disciple.

But this did not prevent Yan Xu from going to see his idol and asking for advice.

It's impossible to become his disciple, but considering Uncle Jiu's character, there's no problem in giving him some pointers.

Yan Xu needed to find a trustworthy person who was in the cultivation circle to help guide him on his way forward. Obviously, Uncle Jiu, as the Saint Master of the Ten Thousand Worlds, was a good choice, which was recognized by all the heavens and the ten thousand worlds. Having made up his mind, Yan Xu asked the driver to change the route and prepare to go to Renjia Town.

As the richest man in Renjia Town, Mr. Ren would certainly not travel with just two or three people. If he was so brave, the bandits and bullies would teach him a lesson that day.

In fact, Master Ren led a caravan with more than a dozen drivers and eight or nine armed guards. He was far from being as powerless as shown in the movies. He had to rely on the town's security team for everything, even the dog he raised was from his family.

The road was indeed unsafe. Not long after leaving the Magic City, we encountered people placing trees across the road to collect tolls.

The manager of the Ren family caravan was not panicked when he saw this. He stepped forward with his hands in his pockets to negotiate, because there were so many such things along the way that he was used to it.

In fact, the merchants and bandits had already formed a tacit understanding. When they encountered a powerful caravan like the Ren family, they would pay for tea, give them face and call them a hero, and the matter would be over. They would immediately move the tree and send the other party away. This was called abiding by the rules.

It’s not that the bandit road bully doesn’t want more, but that he can’t do it.

The caravan's journey is not short. If they continue like this, they will lose everything before they get halfway. This is forcing them to fight to the death.

Even those who are strong will not do this. Not to mention how many casualties will occur, the mere threat will make no one dare to take this path and make them learn to abide by the rules.

If you don’t have this ability, it won’t work. Not only will you have to pay more, but you will also have to leave some of your things behind.

Although he was helpless, he was powerless and did not want to be beaten and then have his things taken away, so he had to do what the other party said.

Fortunately, they are on a short trip, so they can make some money at most and avoid losing everything.

The common people and traveling merchants who followed the caravan had to pay their share of the money, otherwise they would be beaten and scolded at best, or killed as an example at worst. Otherwise, who would be afraid of them if they were polite to them throughout the journey?

Soon it was Yan Xu's turn. He put on a helmet and got off the carriage with a revolver in his hand. The man who had just been sitting on a chair by the roadside and drinking tea from a purple clay teapot was startled and dropped his beloved purple clay teapot. He jumped up, clasped his hands together and saluted before he even landed on the ground, and said anxiously.

"But would the Demonic Capital Guandi kill His Excellency the King?!"

Yan Xu was stunned for a moment, surprised at the other party's quick reaction. He was quite agile, but it was not a good idea to kill him directly, so he smiled and said.

"You're quite quick to react, but I don't really like the title of Killer King."

"I'm Li Jinsheng, your humble servant. I'd be so unceremonious to address you as Boss Yan!" Li Jinsheng, whose legs were a little weak, bowed repeatedly and then tried his best to wink at his subordinates.

The bandits then remembered that their boss called the other party the Killing King of the Demon City Guandi Society. They were suddenly startled and hurriedly put away their swords and guns. They brought out two armchairs and a table with a white paper fan to collect tolls and keep accounts.

"Okay, don't delay my trip." The other party was so tactful that Yan Xu no longer had the idea of ​​killing him and turned around to get on the carriage.

After the car door was closed, Li Jinsheng did not even have time to breathe a sigh of relief. He rolled up his sleeves and moved the tree that was lying across the road. Then he and his younger brothers stood on the side of the road and respectfully watched the other party leave.

Yan Xu had never thought that his name would be spread here, and what kind of reputation had it spread? It actually scared the other party so much?
